My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

With my long, lanky legs and big, expressive eyes, I’m a cat you won’t forget! Whether I’m gracefully striding across the room or gazing at you with an intense, knowing look, I have a presence that’s hard to ignore.

I thrive on affection—especially shoulder rides! If you let me, I’ll perch up high, nuzzle into you, and remind you that I’m happiest when I’m close. Catnip? Love it. Lap time? The best. But strangers? Not my favorite. I need time to warm up, so a patient home with someone who understands my boundaries is key.

I also have a special diet and require a behavior consultation to make sure my new family is ready to support my unique needs. But for the right person, I’ll be an incredible companion—playful, affectionate, and full of personality.

Are you the one who will truly appreciate my elegant stride and striking gaze?
